About Lunches

Lunches are served everyday in the "Arquivo Distrital do Porto". This is a different building than the main venue, yet directly connected to it through an indoor corridor. Directions to lunch are signposted.

Tuesday to Friday lunches (i.e. 4 lunches in total) are included in the registration fee.

As for Monday lunch, it will be served only to participants who registered for both morning and afternoon tutorials.

 All trash and garbage will be collected at the same place where the lunches were distributed. Time slots for lunches are shown on the programme.

Auxiliary Venue

Some of the conference events take place in an auxiliary venue: the bar/restaurant/cultural/art gallery/café called "Maus Hábitos". Namely, the late-breaking news/demos session, Friday night's concert, and suggested general nightly hang-out.
